and_o he_o call_v one_o of_o they_o a_o psalm_n to_o call_v to_o remembrance_n and_o as_o a_o author_n well_o note_n when_o david_n come_v to_o renew_v his_o comfort_n he_o make_v a_o psalm_n to_o

in_o three_o direction_n first_o pray_v for_o a_o distinct_a sight_n of_o those_o evil_n that_o provoke_v god_n to_o take_v your_o comfort_n from_o you_o second_o after_o you_o have_v get_v a_o sight_n bend_v the_o strength_n of_o your_o prayer_n most_o against_o those_o evil_n that_o do_v so_o provoke_v god_n to_o cloud_v your_o comfort_n pray_v against_o they_o as_o against_o the_o deadly_a enemy_n you_o have_v in_o the_o world_n three_o pray_v for_o attain_v those_o grace_n that_o may_v be_v inlet_n to_o spiritual_a comfort_n as_o the_o grace_n before_o name_v the_o grace_n of_o godly_a sorrow_n the_o grace_n of_o humiliation_n the_o grace_n of_o faith_n and_o of_o love_n to_o jesus_n christ_n thus_o if_o you_o set_v upon_o search_v upon_o humble_v and_o upon_o pray_v work_n you_o be_v in_o a_o likely_a way_n to_o have_v your_o comfort_n restore_v four_o set_v upon_o the_o work_n of_o meditation_n and_o in_o this_o work_n i_o shall_v commend_v four_o meditation_n you_o be_v to_o take_v into_o your_o thought_n which_o may_v be_v very_o helpful_a and_o useful_a to_o you_o in_o restore_v your_o comfort_n as_o first_o let_v your_o meditation_n run_v upon_o this_o that_o sometime_o you_o be_v not_o so_o competent_a judge_n of_o your_o own_o spiritual_a estate_n as_o other_o may_v be_v as_o first_o in_o a_o time_n of_o desertion_n when_o god_n have_v leave_v you_o and_o frown_n upon_o you_o second_o in_o time_n of_o temptation_n when_o the_o devil_n temptation_n be_v violent_a against_o you_o three_o in_o time_n of_o relapse_n when_o you_o be_v fall_v into_o some_o great_a sin_n at_o this_o time_n you_o be_v not_o so_o competent_a judge_n of_o your_o own_o estate_n but_o stander_n by_o may_v see_v more_o of_o your_o own_o good_a and_o your_o own_o sincerity_n than_o yourselves_o may_v do_v as_o the_o proverb_n be_v many_o time_n looker_n on_z see_v more_o than_o he_o that_o play_v the_o game_n it_o be_v true_a in_o this_o a_o looker_n on_o may_v see_v sincerity_n sparkle_v in_o thy_o practice_n and_o thy_o grace_n shine_v in_o thy_o conversation_n when_o thou_o can_v not_o do_v it_o thyself_o a_o child_n when_o it_o blubber_n and_o cry_n can_v see_v nothing_o of_o his_o book_n so_o when_o christian_n be_v sad_a and_o sullen_a and_o lumpish_a they_o can_v hardly_o read_v any_o thing_n of_o their_o evidence_n mr._n throgmorton_n get_v his_o assurance_n this_o way_n by_o the_o testimony_n of_o a_o company_n of_o godly_a minister_n that_o they_o can_v lay_v their_o soul_n in_o his_o soul_n stead_n let_v this_o therefore_o run_v in_o your_o meditation_n that_o many_o time_n stander_n by_o and_o christian_n that_o behold_v your_o walking_n and_o see_v your_o action_n they_o may_v see_v more_o ground_n of_o comfort_n in_o you_o then_o yourselves_o can_v do_v second_o meditate_v and_o think_v upon_o the_o comfort_v god_n give_v you_o in_o wont_a time_n and_o call_v they_o to_o mind_n do_v as_o david_n do_v psal_n 77._o i_o call_v to_o

it_o be_v good_a to_o be_v sure_a and_o may_v not_o i_o much_o more_o say_v to_o you_o it_o be_v good_a to_o be_v sure_a of_o heaven_n it_o be_v good_a to_o be_v sure_a you_o be_v effectual_o call_v by_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v good_a to_o be_v sure_a that_o you_o be_v christian_n in_o truth_n not_o in_o name_n only_o that_o you_o be_v christian_n in_o deed_n not_o in_o profession_n only_o o_o it_o be_v good_a to_o make_v your_o call_v and_o election_n sure_a reas_n 3_o three_o christian_n shall_v labour_v to_o assure_v this_o because_o the_o more_o assure_v you_o be_v of_o your_o effectual_a call_v the_o more_o it_o will_v heighten_v and_o increase_v your_o inward_a peace_n and_o comfort_n 1_o pet._n 1.8_o in_o who_o believe_v you_o rejoice_v with_o joy_n unspeakable_a and_o full_a of_o glory_n it_o be_v very_o observable_a that_o in_o all_o the_o epistle_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n where_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o their_o effectual_a calling_n to_o be_v saint_n in_o the_o very_a next_o verse_n he_o salute_v they_o with_o these_o word_n grace_n and_o peace_n be_v towards_o you_o 1_o cor._n 1.2_o you_o be_v call_v to_o be_v saint_n grace_n and_o peace_n be_v towards_o you_o rom._n 1_o 6_o 7._o call_v to_o be_v saint_n grace_n and_o peace_n be_v multiply_v towards_o you_o and_o so_o in_o every_o epistle_n beside_o to_o note_v that_o when_o a_o man_n be_v effectual_o call_v the_o more_o assurance_n he_o have_v of_o his_o call_n the_o more_o peace_n he_o have_v in_o his_o own_o conscience_n it_o will_v greaten_v your_o peace_n and_o greaten_v your_o inward_a comfort_n therefore_o you_o shall_v labour_v after_o this_o assurance_n of_o your_o effectual_a call_v and_o thus_o have_v show_v you_o what_o effectual_a call_v be_v and_o why_o you_o must_v give_v diligence_n to_o make_v this_o sure_a i_o now_o pass_v to_o a_o three_o querie_n what_o be_v the_o character_n or_o discovery_n whereby_o my_o soul_n may_v be_v assure_v that_o i_o be_o effectual_o call_v by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o in_o the_o dispatch_n of_o this_o i_o shall_v resolve_v it_o only_o by_o these_o two_o general_a head_n first_o you_o may_v be_v assure_v of_o your_o effectual_a call_v if_o god_n have_v take_v that_o method_n with_o your_o soul_n which_o he_o do_v ordinary_o take_v with_o those_o who_o he_o do_v effectual_o call_v second_o if_o the_o lord_n have_v wrought_v in_o you_o those_o save_a effect_n or_o concomitant_n which_o do_v ordinary_o accompany_v those_o that_o be_v thus_o effectual_o call_v if_o these_o two_o thing_n be_v do_v you_o may_v have_v a_o seal_n and_o assurance_n in_o your_o own_o heart_n that_o you_o also_o be_v effectual_o call_v belove_a it_o be_v not_o for_o minister_n to_o flatter_v you_o there_o be_v among_o many_o in_o the_o world_n but_o few_o that_o be_v call_v among_o many_o that_o be_v call_v but_o few_o elect_a and_o therefore_o do_v not_o flatter_v yourselves_o if_o upon_o trial_n you_o find_v you_o be_v not_o in_o the_o number_n of_o god_n call_v once_o go_v home_o and_o bewail_v your_o unregerierate_a and_o unconvert_v estate_n but_o before_o i_o can_v speak_v of_o this_o method_n i_o must_v first_o lay_v down_o some_o mistake_n that_o be_v hold_v by_o erroneous_a mind_n about_o the_o method_n god_n take_v in_o call_v a_o sinner_n home_o to_o himself_o a_o first_o mistake_n be_v of_o the_o pelagian_o who_o hold_v this_o that_o a_o man_n be_v able_a to_o call_v and_o convert_v himself_o now_o this_o opinion_n do_v quite_o exclude_v and_o justle_v out_o god_n from_o have_v any_o hand_n therein_o they_o say_v a_o christian_n be_v able_a to_o call_v and_o convert_v himself_o have_v only_o a_o general_a concurrence_n and_o assistance_n from_o god_n 2._o of_o the_o arminian_o and_o they_o hold_v this_o that_o effectual_a call_v consist_v only_o in_o moral_a persuasion_n and_o may_v be_v resist_v by_o the_o person_n that_o be_v thus_o call_v and_o that_o a_o man_n be_v call_v into_o a_o state_n of_o grace_n may_v fall_v from_o his_o call_v and_o fall_n from_o his_o grace_n and_o so_o have_v no_o profit_n by_o his_o call_v at_o all_o which_o be_v a_o most_o uncomfortable_a opinion_n and_o sure_o god_n will_v never_o take_v this_o method_n in_o call_v of_o his_o people_n 3._o that_o of_o the_o papist_n &_o they_o say_v that_o god_n call_v &_o ordain_v a_o sinner_n to_o glory_n but_o it_o be_v upon_o the_o foresight_n of_o his_o good_a work_n god_n foresee_v how_o good_a and_o holy_a the_o man_n will_v be_v and_o therefore_o god_n will_v choose_v and_o call_v he_o to_o glory_n but_o this_o have_v no_o ground_n from_o scripture_n neither_o 4._o that_o of_o the_o familist_n and_o they_o hold_v this_o that_o god_n method_n in_o call_v a_o sinner_n be_v not_o by_o the_o outward_a ministry_n of_o the_o word_n but_o it_o be_v by_o rapture_n and_o revelation_n and_o by_o divine_a inspiration_n and_o extraordinary_a way_n of_o work_v but_o this_o be_v not_o god_n usual_a method_n though_o god_n sometime_o take_v this_o way_n as_o he_o do_v by_o paul_n who_o be_v call_v this_o way_n after_o a_o extraordinary_a manner_n yet_o this_o be_v not_o god_n odinarie_a rule_n 5._o there_o be_v another_o mistake_n and_o that_o be_v of_o those_o who_o press_v a_o necessity_n of_o such_o measure_n of_o legal_a horror_n and_o terror_n upon_o the_o conscience_n of_o man_n else_o they_o can_v never_o be_v save_v sometime_o minister_n have_v be_v so_o harsh_a now_o and_o then_o though_o indeed_o no_o such_o cause_n to_o blame_v they_o as_o be_v pretend_v yet_o sometime_o lash_v break_v out_o that_o man_n must_v be_v so_o and_o so_o humble_v in_o such_o a_o measure_n and_o so_o long_o for_o duration_n now_o this_o be_v not_o god_n method_n to_o press_v for_o measure_n but_o a_o great_a mistake_n about_o god_n manner_n of_o call_v a_o sinner_n though_o i_o must_v confess_v this_o be_v the_o near_a of_o all_o the_o five_o to_o that_o rule_n god_n take_v in_o call_v a_o sinner_n to_o glory_n have_v thus_o lay_v down_o the_o mistake_n it_o be_v the_o easy_a now_o to_o find_v out_o the_o truth_n i_o come_v now_o to_o speak_v of_o that_o method_n god_n take_v in_o call_v a_o sinner_n and_o here_o i_o shall_v lay_v down_o a_o sixfold_a method_n in_o which_o god_n proceed_v with_o those_o who_o he_o do_v effectual_o call_v which_o if_o he_o do_v so_o with_o you_o you_o may_v go_v home_o with_o a_o seal_n upon_o your_o heart_n that_o you_o be_v effectual_o call_v to_o grace_n and_o you_o shall_v one_o day_n come_v to_o glory_n first_o when_o god_n go_v about_o effectual_o to_o call_v a_o poor_a sinner_n into_o a_o state_n of_o grace_n he_o put_v a_o clear_a light_n into_o his_o soul_n whereby_o he_o may_v see_v the_o heinous_a and_o aggravate_v nature_n of_o all_o his_o sin_n more_o than_o ever_o he_o do_v before_o rom._n 7.8_o 8_o 13._o paul_n tell_v you_o before_o the_o commandment_n come_v he_o be_v alive_a and_o sin_n be_v dead_a that_o
